No I pulled the u-boot off and it looks a little greasy but not soaked by any means. I can't get my finger in the turbo to see if there's a pool in there, but I don't think there is. That's where I thought it'd be the valves leaking. Someone else on the forum led me to believe this a while back.
But... my guess is that the oil only would leak from the turbo oil feed when the turbo is spinning. It has a layer of oil as a bearing. But of course when sitting no oil is flowing so no mess. But when it is spinning, it'd easily suck all the oil it has spit out right into the intake. Especially at high revs since the turbo is flying at that point. So... it could be the turbo leaking.
How do I diagnose? Do I need to take the turbo off and run it without it? Is there an easier way to tell if that's the prob?
